Full Circle - Back To Knowhere (GMT 44) a.k.a. The Other Side 50

"sometimes music can't be reduced to words. at the time, we were dancing between voids of uncertainty. omicron placed alot of doubts around inviting friends from overseas. right now it is amazing to think all these gifts are slowly becoming taken for granted once more. but then, the implications of such risks were something at the forefront of everyone's mind. this party was the release. the first in a small series of events. the mix here captures a two hour segment of music from an extended set by DJ Sundae - a sincere and sensitive dj with totally unique selections. on the night he soundtracked the front room, while Dali and schwet led the trip out back. it was amazing to connect with so many people and explore the possibilities of dancing together after those long nights alone. thank you to everyone who came, played, and helped. I hope you enjoy this memory".

MFM: Hi Curtis, welcome aboard. What have you been up to lately?

VD: Thanks guys, happy to be a part of the series. I’ve been living in Berlin for ten years now and collecting records for about fifteen. I feel like my interests are constantly changing, but I always come back to records. Lately I’ve been reading a lot and spending more time in museums. I’m growing to appreciate the common thread between things and the way my interests intersect.

MFM: How are you connected to the Berlin music scene? 

VD: I used to throw parties in a space that’s future is now sort of uncertain. I would say I met most of my music friends there. I’ve also worked in music most of my life and am currently taking of the shop at ‘Record Culture Magazine’.

MFM: Do you think Berlin is still an interesting and healthy place for music and culture in general?

VD: Good question. I recently read that Berlin has experienced the sharpest increase in rent over the last five years (42% between 2016 and 2021) of all major European cities. This has lead to a sort of cultural homogeny that has largely erased the city’s distinctive character. That said, we still have an amazing sense of community here, where everyone involved in music supports each other; attending each other’s parties, buying each other’s records and generally just hanging out.

MFM: Word on the street is that you're a great digger. What does that mean to you? 

VD: Haha, my reputation precedes me, thanks! I think since letting go a little I’ve realised that the medium is far less important than the way in which it’s presented. Outside of my interest in collecting second hand records, there is a whole world of other types of music that I love. The stuff I listen to at home or on the bus is often completely different to the stuff I play out. I think blurring those lines can reveal a certain truth in what you do, it’s a purer form of expression.

MFM: What does collecting records mean to you these days?

VD: I have to say, almost none of the records I buy can be played (easily) in a club. For a long time, I was buying music almost exclusively for mixes, which is a habit I’m happy to have broken. Now I will only buy things that can’t be heard beyond the format, as well as the occasional LP for home listening.

MFM: Rumour has it that you've got a knack for organising your records :) What is that all about?

VD: Haha, yeah. So last year, during a year-long sabbatical courtesy of the German state, I decided to start a small web store. I wanted the records I was selling to be presentable for home visits and got tired of never being able to find where anything was. I built a shelving unit that could hold the weight, cut dividers and labelled them and found 12-inch-wide crates to sort the records. Everything is now upright and browsable by genre. 

MFM: How do you find new records? Do you have your secret or not so secret methods?

VD: Nowadays I just go to the shop and listen to things that catch my eye. I used to obsess over how ‘known’ stuff was but now I’m mostly not bothered. I see records as a curiosity; those with an interesting back story or aesthetic quirk are always the nicest to own. This is usually what I look for when I’m in the store. The rest always works itself out.

MFM: So, please tell us about your mix! Is there a story behind it? 

VD: It’s for anyone who struggles with the shorter days. Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere always has me feeling pretty melancholic, and I wanted the mix to reflect that. It’s something that you might listen to as it gets dark at 4pm.

Sacha Mambo live dj cut - Macadam Mambo @ Sameheads (25112022)

London-based pair Jack Rollo and Elaine Tierney aka Time is Away are continually exploring the relationship between time, place and power. They do so in a wide variety of ways from exhibitions for the Arts Council England to site-specific sound works, research projects to their nearly 10-year-strong NTS show. Each one weaves spoken word pieces with atmospheric music into soundscapes that physically and mentally move you. 

The pair's exceptional record collection and ability to manipulate your mood are laid bare once more in this week's mix. It's an escapist daydream where gently lilting rhythms melt away into psychedelic dub with intimate vocal whispers. Indian meditations captivate the heart and mind while lo-fi guitar fuzz lulls you into a hypnagogic state. It's a delicate but powerful world of sound that reveals more and has an ever-deeper impact each time you listen.

After stumbling into some fluoro drapes and mad psychedelic music somewhere in a field around 93, the path to becoming a Goa Trance DJ was inevitable.
Before the turn of the millenium and after having lived the dream, I realized there was maybe a bit more to life and sailed towards a different journey. Meeting many friendly music heads along the way who always helped broaden my horizons... Spinning round the block and back a few times... Carrying on my mission to spread the music or the word, I eventually came back to the sound of my youth and gave it a new twist. 
In life, things always come Full Circle and you will find a good representation of that here… 
Been trying to slow things down as much as I can in these modern days where we all live in the fast lane! 
Check in when you can for regular updates, see you on The Other Side, or on the dance floor somewhere soon…
